Unfortunately, not all people are the pack leaders. When I did greyhound adoptions, we had several come back because they had positioned themselves as pack leader, and the people didn't know how to or want to deal with establishing themselves as leader. This lady probably thought she was in control, but in the end wasn't. My feeling is that her pole must have hit the leader, he turned on her and the other dog followed.
